   These books: First, a pure ancient romance (the female supporting character is a time traveler, but I found it quite thought-provoking; the edges of modern people are ultimately smoothed out by feudal society, turning them into well-behaved individuals).

Fourth, a reincarnation story; who wouldn't love our Xu Liuli?

    My favorite reincarnation story is *Xi Hua Zhi*. The female protagonist keeps her true abilities hidden until the unexpected events, knowing that the real ancient world isn't as simple as depicted in time-travel novels. *Fu Chun Qing* clearly portrays how a carefully cultivated young lady from a prominent family in ancient times might be just as insightful as a modern person. It's a story of a time-traveling woman's dreams shattered in ancient times, but seeing things more clearly allows her to better appreciate the complexities of life. *Shuo Tien Tien* seems like a comedy, but it's actually very realistic. It's funny yet true; there's no such thing as love without a reason, and only by being clear-headed can one achieve lasting happiness.

    The first book features a very intelligent female protagonist. She initially pretends to be a devoted wife and mother, but when her family faces hardship, she steps forward to support them. It feels like someone like her would thrive anywhere. The second book, about a woman who transmigrates at age three or four, is realistic and detailed. The female protagonist achieves what she wants through her own abilities, and her relationship with the male protagonist is also strong, showing equality and mutual growth. The third book features a female protagonist who is reborn into the body. Although she initially encounters unreliable parents, she eventually reforms them and leads her family to success—a very heartwarming story.

    I don't think the ancients were smarter than us, but I do think they were more ruthless. Most modern people are educated and have a certain level of morality; at least most of them won't harm others unless they are harmed in return. But the ancients, especially those of higher social classes, didn't treat those of lower social classes as human beings. This article is quite in line with my understanding of the ancients.

    A reincarnation story set in ancient China!! 🔥Also about living life seriously!! ❓️Crazy literature~ The female lead's family is all "crazy," fighting at the drop of a hat, verbally abusing others until they question their existence, and beating them until they are completely convinced! The female lead's family is the epitome of the extreme, walking the extreme path and leaving the extreme with nowhere to go. The male lead is slightly weak in the early stages, but that doesn't mean he's inherently weak; he follows the path of a scholar who dotes on his wife. Yunyan transmigrated. Fortunately, it was a reincarnation, so there's no worry about being exposed. It's just that her parents have a bad reputation; they're a notorious extreme couple in the village. Even her own brother is a bit crooked! The male lead is also her childhood sweetheart!! He's always very doting on her❤️❤️❤️ Read if you like, don't read if you don't❤️
